THE response to the "gentle hint to sub
scribers in last weeks issue has not been
so general as it should have been. The
amounts due us have got to be paid some
time, and how much better for all concerned
if they are paid at once and we are not
compelled to make collections. We intend
no reflection upon subscribers who have
usually paid promptly or within reason
able time, but there are very many to whom
this call has pertinent application
THE excellent success of the recent enter
tainments under the auspices of the Young

we are not able to give net results of the

is very satisfactory. The ladies are to meet
a number of the band Friday evening, at

zation of work in the form of cash. We
shall report this seance to our readers.
ANOTHER liquor raid was made on Friday
of last week About one hundred gallons
of different kinds of liquors were taken
from the drugstore of Ira G.. Bascom.
Blakely's store was relieved of several gal
Ions of whiskey and some ale, and at II. r.
Bixby's quite a quantity of liquor was
confscated. j. A. Locklin's saloon was
searched, but without success. The drug
gists will, it is understood, contest the va
lidity of the seizure on the ground that the
"poison was kept solely for compounding
purposes All of them have been prose-
cuted by States Attorney Bisbee for keeping
nuisances and have given bail in the sum of
$500 each for appearance in county court
next week.
GENERAL review exercises will take place
